Improving my fine motor skills

Mom went to Parent teacher conferences.  I'm doing fine, except I need to work on my fine motor skills.  All of a sudden projects started popping up at home.  I do like gingerbread houses.....This year, I was the art director.  We did it all my way.

Mom did all the squeezing of the frosting, while I placed the candy.
There's the front.
We went to Jo Ann's to look at all the kid's craft projects.  Mom showed me Perler Beads.  You buy different color beads and place them on a heat resistant grid.  When your design is done, you have your Mom iron it and it all sticks together!!!!
This grid, fits over our iPad.  We can make designs on the iPad and grid them out with beads.  We've made Creepers, snowflakes, a Totoro.  We try and do a little every day.
I do enjoy the flexibility of these beads.  I can make anything!
